To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that l, llnnnnn'r ll. S'rnnm citizen of the United States, and resident of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'lype-lVril.- ing Machines, of which them following' is a specification.

Mv invention relates to" lvpewriting maehi nes and more particularly to carriage stop mechanism therefor,

Une of the objects of in v invention is to provide eflieient means for preventing undue shock when the carriage is violentlv moved to the right to begin a new line of writing.

A further object of my invention is to provide simple and efficient means for preventing the shock which ordinarily results when the carriage is violently returned to the rieh t from heine' transmitted to the feed rack or carriage feed meclianism.

A stillfurther object of my invention is to -assure the proper positioningof the carriage when it returned to the right.

Another object of my invenlimi to pro vide ellieient stop mechanism for alfordim,"l

an actuation ol' the alarm and line lock lucchanisms.

To the above and other ends which will hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the features of construction, arrangements of parts and.combinations of devices to he hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

ln the accompanying drawings wherein likel reference characters indicate mirresporuling parts in the various views. Figure l is a. fragmentary front elevation of the upper portion of the typewriting machine with parts omitted and parts in section, the view showing the features of my invention applied 'to the machine. Figs. 2, 3 and fl are like views of the saine, showingl different dispositions of the parts. Fig. 5 is an enlarged vertical front to rear sectional view of the same taken on the line '.r of Fig. l and lookingr in the direction of the arrow at said line. Fig. l is an enlarged detail side elevation7 parti)r in section, of the pivoted stop. the view showing the manner of mounting: the same on the carriage. Fig. 7 is an ,enlarged detail seetional view slunving; the stop rod and the margin stop mounted thereon.

I have shown my invention applied to a. Monarch machine to which my invention may be applied without changii'ig the stru tural .features of such machine, but the invention may obviously he applied to other forms of tvpewriting machines.

Corner posts i of the machine support a 60 top 'ilate 2 to which upwardly extending standanls or hracluxls 3 are secured, one near each side of the. machine'. '.l`hese lnackets support iixed rails il secured in piace screws Fraud the rails have oppositelv dis- 65 posed grooves (i therein for cooperation 'with anlifrictiou halls or rollers 7. l carrhlgc S is n'ovided with oppositely disposed rooved rails ll that likewise coopernte with the entifriction halls 7 lo support the carriage in 70 place and lo all'ord a travel thereof from side to side of the machine. The carriage supports a cylindrical platen ll) and carries a combined line spaeinpr and carriage restoring; arm or lever ll which 'projecls for- 7 nf'ardly from the carriage.

n. link 115, actuated by the universal har in the usual manner, is connected ai'. its upper end to an arin lb that extends l`orWaldly from a rock shaft hl mounted on a lined 3g bracket l5 secured to the lop plaie of the machine. 'lf he rock shaft has an vupwardly extending arm lh which arries feed dogs l. The arms lil and lli and the rock shaft 14 constitute a dog rocker which is restored lo 5 its normal position hv a spring 'lb' connu-lcd. at one end lll lo the hrncluft l5 and at ils other end 2() to the rock shaft lLl. 'lhc feed dogs cooperate with an eseapemeut wheel 2l which is operativelyfoounected in lhe usual 90 mamur to a shaft supporlcd in a hearing 22 'hich is secured lo the lop plaie of the ma chine.

i carriage ral atacar ,rearwardly extending arm 25. vlVhen pressure ,is released on the depressed carriage release lever 28, the feed rack will'be forced into engagement with the feed,A pinion by a restoring spring 24i secured at end to the feed rack by a screw 24b and bearing at its free end against the upper carriage rail 9 or against a part projecting therefrom.

Projecting upwardly from the upper fixed 4 are bearing lugs 3l which .919 perforated to form bearings for cylindrical bearing'portions 32 c'arried by a stop rod 33. The cylindrical bearing portions 32` are `extended beyond the Abearing lugs 31 and each cylindrical portion is provided with a nger piece 34 by which the stop rod may be turned.A A. c`oiled spring 35 surrounds one of the bearing portions 82 and is connected at one end to the associated bearing lug and at its opposite end to the associated linger piece 34, so that, vthe rod is restored to its normal position by the i springs 35, a stop 36'being provided to limit e turning movement of the stop rod in its movement back to normal position, said stop 36 being carried by the stop rod and adapted to bear on the upper carriage rail. The stop rod 33 is notched in its forward face, the notches being situated letter space distances apart and the upper face of lthe stop rod' is provided with a scale (not shown) which corresponds to the carriage scale. A .margin stop 37 has a carrier 38 which is in the nature of a slide that partly surrounds the stop rod and is adapted to i move longitudinally thereon in order to atford an adjustment of the stop to different positions along the rnd. A latch 39 is adapted to engage in anyy of the notches 40 in the 'stop rod to lock the margin stop against longitudinal movement thereon. 39 constitutes part of a finger piece 4l which -is pivoted to the stop carrier at 42, so that This latch the engaging portion of the latch may be thrown out of the notch to afford an adjustment of the stop along the stop rod. An expansion spring 43 1s seated m an opening inl the part 41 of the latch and bears at its l upper end against the latch and at its lower latch and the stop7 rod.

end against the stop carrier in order to normally maintain an engagement between the `When the finger piece 41 is depressed. against the tension of the spring 43 the latch is releasedfrom engagement with the notch 40 in which it is seated. A carrier 38"i for the alarm and lineflock stop is constructed in essentially the same. manner as the carrier 38 and the same means are provided for locking the carla headed shouldered screw 47 is received at its threaded end 48 in an opening in the lower carriage rail 9 and constitutes a pivot for astop 50. This stop is in the nature of an angular lever, one arm of which extends upwardly into the path of the margin and alarm and line-lock stops, whereas the other arm 5] of the lever extends at substantially right angles to the u )wardly extending arm and may be terme an actuating arm or member. This arm has an anti-friction rdfler 52Apivoted thereto at 53 and said roller isv adapted to bear upon a bar 54 which is approximately as long as the carriage and has rearwardly projecting arms 55- at the ends thereof, said arms heilig pivoted by shouldered screws 56 to thel ends of the lower' iixed carriage rail 4. Thus the bar 54 and arms 55y constitute what may be termed a swinging bail pivoted on the screws 56 to swing up and down, the upward movement of the bail being limited by a finger 554iL thereon, which coperat'es with the lower fixed rail 4. The bail carries a rear-A.

wardly projecting pin 54b that extends under and cooperates with one arm 54c of a line lock lever pivoted at 54d to the xed rail 4 to which the bail ispivoted.r The other arm 54e extends downwardly and is provided with a hook-likefendi54f which is adapted to engage under a projection '54g carried by the link 12 through which mbition is transmitted from the umversal bar (not shown) to the dog rocker 14. The bail 54` 55 carries a rearwardly pro'ecting arm 57 which is provided with av bell hammer 58 at the rear end thereof. A bell 59 is secured to a spindle 60 that is carried by the frame pf the machine.

From an inspection of Figs. I1 and 5 it Will be seen that a wire spring 61 is secured at one end to the lowerv iixed carriage rail 4 by a screw 62 whereas the free end of the spring extends beneath and cooperates with a pin 63 which projects laterally from the bail 54. The tension of the spring 61 is exerted to maintainl the bail 54 in its elevated position,

position shown in Fig. 4, contact with the -alarm stop 44, it is eii'ect1ve to depress the bail and raise the bell hammer 58. When the pivoted sto is released from this osition the bail Wil be restored to its norma osition and the hammer 58 will strike the gell 5 9 and sound the alarm. A further movement of the carriage to the left brings the line-lock stop 45 into cooperation with the 120 but when the pivoted sto 5() is turned to thel f pivot and against the resistai'rceioffered by the spring buffer. This movement is elfective to elevate the arm 51 on the pivoted stop which, however, does not effect an, operation of the bail 54,` the bail remaining in its normal position. The upward movement of the arm 5]. carries with it the auxiliary lever 64 and the rack is elevated. through the spring connection between the auxiliary lever and Ythe rack to disengage the rack from its feed pinion. lf the impact between the stops is only sufficient to move the pivoted stop to the position indicated in Fig. 2, for instance,

. then the rack will be elevated without defiecting the spring 67 because the tension of the spring 67 is sufficient to overcome the weight of the rack and the 'tension of the rack restoringspring 24a Without .being raised off the in 69. If, however, a greater force is employed to restore the carriage and the impact between the stops is such that the pivoted stop will be moved to the position indi.

cated in Fig. 3,'for instance, then the further movement of the auxiliary lever 64-Will defiectrthe spring 67 against its tension, thusA enabling further movement of the stop and auxiliary lever to take place without effecting a further upward movement of the feed rack and at the same tim'e interposing an additional resistance of the tension of the spring 67 to the pivotal movement of the stop 50 bythe impact between the stops and 87. It will thus be seen that the extent of pivotal v movement of the stop 50 by contacting with the margin stop 37 depends upon the force employed to restore the carriage. When the shock of the impact between the stops has been absorbed in the manner described the spring buffer, the rack restoring spring 2,4, and possibly the spring 67 will tend to restore the pivoted stop and its associated parts to their normal positions, thereby reestablishing an engagement betweenI the feed rack and its pinion. i

From the foregoing description it will be understood that a pivotal movement of the stop 50-51 which is effective to disengage the feed rack from its pinion, through the lever 64 and spring 67 effects only a given eX- tent of disengagin movement of the rack,

- though the pivota movement of thestop may be varied, depending on theforce wit which the carriage is returned andthe distance that the spring-pressed plunger is aeaes? what is required to disengage the rack` and that consequently the rack will always ref engage the pinion soA as to start'the carriage at the same point. In other words,notwit standing the fact that-the 'C'Eage/,may 4be moved to theright differentistaices Aloeyond a normal arresting point, depending on the force of the return movement and that this movement will disengage the rack, the

rack will, nevertheless, ways rengage with the pinion so as to always start the carriage -from a given point on the carriage scale or a given letter space osition and not one, two or more rack teetfi or letter space dis- .tances from said point` It will also be seen that the construction is such that the stov 50 is movably mounted on its support to ev iect the ringing ofthe alarm and the actuation of i the line-lock mechanism; that, nevertheless, the same stop may be employed to cooperate with its spring buffer and associated mechanism to dimlnish theshock when the carria-ge is violently returned tobe in a new line of writing and to automatica y disengag'e the. carriage from its feed mechanism so that the shock will'not be transmitted to the feed rack or feed mechanism; that the function of the stop 50 to accomplish either purpose does not interfere with its function to accomplish the other urpose that the spring'blifl'er and alarm an line-lock mechanism is eective toco erate with the pivoted stop at any point in t e line of writing or inthe travel of the vcarriage depending on the adjustment ofthe margin stops along the bar 33; that the rack is only raised a given distance no matter how far the ivoted stop may be turned by contact the stop 37 and that the return movement ofthe pivoted sto from its eX- treme position may be effeclte in part independently of the rack so that the pivoted stop has almost attained the normal position before the rack is rengaged with its feed `pinion and there is little chance, therefore, of' the carriage being arrested at the Wrong letter space position, byA tlLQlfCl engaging the pinion one vtooth of the rack befrefor'one tooth behind the predetermined position it is intended the engagement Awith the pinion should take place; that the means for automatically shlfting the rack out of engage'- ment with its feed pinion does notinterfere with the rack being released at any time by the rack` release lever 28, and that the de vices of my invention may be applied to ex Monarch machine, I for' instance, WithoA t clianging the structural features of saidmac me.
